The point I'm trying to make is that Ver.2 players do not trade. There are three ways to play the game, and none of them require trading. You can either:

Play using Sega's drop rates, in which case only around five useful items drop. The rest are so rare that you'll either never find them, or you'll find one of them every five years, so you sure as hell won't trade it unless it's something useless, in which case you'll give it away, not trade it. The items that do drop are so easy to get that trading isn't necessary, as almost any ID can get them, and they drop like hotcakes. An economy is not needed. Get a damn Pick on your own.

Play using the EP, in which case all items are relatively easy to get, and you can get every item in the game with only two characters. As such, trading isn't necessary since you can find everything on your own.

Hack all your equipment, in which case you obviously don't need to trade since you can have anything you want at any time.

The concept of an economy was brought about by Sega's decision to make rares semi-findable, but still a pain in the ass to get, and then to add more items to the game and make it so that each item only drops for 1 - 3 IDs, thus preventing any one person from ever getting everything the game has to offer without having 10 characters and spending way too much time. Ver.2 doesn't have that problem.

As for Meseta, you can go from zero to a million in a matter of hours. Meseta can't be used to purchase anything of value.

PSOBBToo easy (V502, smartlink and V101 anyone?)Episode II sucked (2 rehashed levels from battle mode)Better graphicsnoobs that never played V2 giving you shitMax mats was the worst idea of balance Sega could have come up withEpisode 4 was a complete waste and a sad attempt at adding challenge to the already vanilla ultimate mode

Those are my main points on V2/PC versus BB and I'll always stick with V2/PC.

But since I currently can never guarantee an internet connection due to traveling, it's a real pain to only be able to play when I have an online connection and I really don't feel like having an online character and a separate offline only character running on a local server.

Guess I'm going to have to bite the dust and try and see if I can find a wired 360 pad somewhere in Mexico and then find a hopefully well seeded clean PSO PC torrent to grab. Whoever at Sega decided not to use WASD keyboard controls for PSO PC needs shooting.

Now if there is deathrabbit's BB controls for PSOPC yet to be found it would be useful for you. [Link]
